Making Contact

"Impossible!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't spend long correcting the Kunpeng Combat Technique; he adjusted it in just half an hour.

After the strike was delivered, Luo Burang stared at the motionless target, momentarily unable to believe the outcome.

The atmosphere inside B13 Research Institute was somewhat suffocating. Not only Luo Burang, but even Ren Yisheng and the others hadn't expected Zhang Xuezhou's attack to be less effective than they had hoped.

"Shall we try again?"

Ren Yisheng looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who was unleashing his Gene Fighting Technique, and gave his suggestion again.

"Is there a problem with our deduction?" Luo Tianming asked solemnly.

"It's not your problem, it's my problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.

He raised his hands, but compared to the spiritual power he had repeatedly exerted, Zhang Xuezhou's physical Gene Power was far from sufficient.

This is somewhat like a small horse struggling to pull a large cart.

For many researchers, they still follow the pattern of ascending Gene Sequence, but Zhang Xuezhou and others made a turn after the Seventh Sequence, making it difficult to fit and push towards the truly deep and distant.

Zhang Xuezhou may need to rely on a specially crafted magical Law Treasure to unleash his full power, or he may need to make adjustments himself.

He reached out to Chimmon Hagrid, who was watching solemnly to the side, and asked for a flying needle.

The alloy-made flying needles quickly turned red and softened in his hand, then flew away from his palm as Zhang Xuezhou struck them again.

A dull thud echoed as the flying needle pierced the target and embedded itself into the steel plate behind it, becoming as if it had been welded into the metal.

"My genes are weak, so I can't rely on Gene Fighting Technique as a foundation. I need to switch to mental power instead, otherwise I'll need to use a medium," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You mean your mental strength is very strong, and using Gene Fighting Technique is actually a weakening effect, causing you to 'get stuck' and unable to unleash your power?"

Ren Yisheng pondered for no more than two seconds before arriving at an answer that even he found hard to believe.

"That's how it seems based on the test results," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"You've become this powerful with just a slight adjustment?"

Luo Burang and Qimeng Haige pulled back the target and looked at the flying needles welded into the steel plate. They couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"This magic..."

Daojun's Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique is the number one Incantation Technique in the Three Realms. Luo Burang has only scratched the surface, while Zhang Xuezhou has only just begun to understand it.

This kind of striking power is not unusual; it Law Treasure. If Zhang Xuezhou could obtain a treasure like the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, he could also unleash a power that would make even top-tier cultivators wary.

Having achieved this step, Zhang Xuezhou can also advance towards the Innate Qi Technique in Daojun's philosophy.

"I might need to combine my Law Power with the Innate Qi Technique to make it effective!"

Zhang Xuezhou dislikes studying the subject most, but he has no choice but to do so at the moment.

His path of spiritual practice has always been his own; no one knows himself better than Zhang Xuezhou.

At present, he needs to repeatedly test the various abilities he places his hopes on, and he also needs to integrate and master them himself.

This involves not only the Innate Qi Technique, but also his Realm Technique and the Human Body Reaction Equation for Physical Sainthood. Many aspects cannot be customized by others, and the Innate Qi Technique localized by Luo Tianming and others can only serve as a reference.

"The combination of Law Power and spiritual power can transform nothingness into substantial physical damage, and can also cause spiritual damage," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Can you put together a combination right now?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"It's a bit difficult, but I think I've gotten the hang of it!"

Even after more than a hundred years, Daojun had not been able to fully understand it; how could Zhang Xuezhou have achieved it so easily?

However, Luo Tianming and others' use of mental combat techniques to simulate the Innate Qi Technique did give him direction.

He grabbed an alloy steel needle in his palm and, relying on the methods of Luo Tianming and others, channeled his Law Power and spiritual power into it. He then repeatedly circulated Law Power Law Treasure power on the Law Artifact to refine the magical artifact. The needle, made of insufficient material, quickly turned red and melted.

With renewed effort, Zhang Xuezhou fired the steel needle, feeling a bit more at ease.

"My current challenge lies in how to detach myself from the medium and thus combine Law Power and spiritual power," Zhang Xuezhou said. "These are two different forces, and attempting to merge them to create destruction is far too difficult!"

"Is there any technique that can unleash power using pure Law Power?" Ren Yisheng asked cautiously.

"Every technique involves the transformation of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the elements of wind, fire, water, and earth," Zhang Xuezhou said. "None of the techniques I've encountered rely on pure Law Power to generate their power!"

"Physical strength still requires the elbows to unleash its power," Luo Burang said. "Normally, all power requires a medium to manifest!"

"Our mental Gene Fighting Technique is well-suited for striking from a distance, but Xuezhou's genes are somewhat lacking," Ren Yisheng said.

"No, no, no, our mental series of Gene Fighting Technique don't attack from nowhere," Luo Burang waved his hands repeatedly, "I've studied it for a long time, and I feel that there's likely some kind of special structure in the center of our foreheads. This structure acts like a protective layer, providing a special medium for the release of mental power!"

"Where is that construct? Let me sense it." Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Right here," Luo Burang pointed to the center of his forehead, "I feel like there's a special eye here, but we just don't have the ability to activate it!"

"Eye?"

Luo Burang's guess made everyone scratch their heads in disbelief.

No bodies of those in the Seventh Sequence have yet been dissected. While we have some understanding of the human body's structure, it is not complete, and we are unsure whether there are any undiscovered organs.

Luo Burang's authority was extremely strong; no one mocked him, but rather he was perceived and understood through his actions.

Zhang Xuezhou also touched his forehead.

He didn't touch the Heavenly Eye that Luo Burang mentioned, but Zhang Xuezhou had a friend named Buddha Son Shigong who truly had an eye hidden on his forehead, and Erlang True Lord also had the Divine Ability of having three eyes.

Zhang Xuezhou had never considered whether he possessed such eyes; he simply believed that the Buddha Son Shigong and Erlang True Lord were unique beings who possessed them.

"I need to touch the third eye of the Buddha Son Shigong and Erlang True Lord; that should help me clearly distinguish the structure in the center of their foreheads!"

Since the power of striking with external objects is limited, Zhang Xuezhou currently has no way of finding Law Treasure comparable to the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

While he was indeed constrained by materials when fusing Technique Method in the real world, Zhang Xuezhou still possessed two fragments of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in the Three Realms. He felt that it wouldn't be difficult for him to unleash a single Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife strike, which could be considered an unexpected gain in promoting the Innate Qi Technique at present.

Compared to relying on external objects, Zhang Xuezhou was more interested in Luo Burang's conjectures, and he could also find objects to verify and prove them.

If Zhang Xuezhou can figure out the 'Heavenly Eye' mentioned by Luo Burang and thus refine Yao Treasure that resembles the body of Demon Race, the difficulty of promoting the Innate Qi Technique will be greatly reduced.

For someone like him who lacks offensive capabilities, the Innate Qi Technique is one of the few suitable options available to him at the moment.

Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Zhang Xuezhou discussed the structure in the center of the forehead for a while, and only stopped their discussion and repeated attempts when the communication issued a specific prompt.

The communicator's distinctive beeping sound originated from the communication number he had linked to the Aomeijia Alliance. This was also a communicator owned by Hu Yu. After the communication terminals of the Scarlet Alliance State and the Aomeijia Alliance were merged, the relevant communication number was integrated into Zhang Xuezhou's main number.

He quickly got dressed and found a quiet spot suitable for taking a call.

The communicator was connected, and the voice from the other communicator quickly came through.

What puzzled Zhang Xuezhou was that it wasn't Hu Yu's voice coming from the communicator, but Hu Hao's.
